As we journey through life, it is our experiences that begin to write our story day by day. Bombarded by thousands of daily distractions, interactions, our dreams, the mind continually alters the narrative we live by in one direction or another. It’s almost so automatic, you nearly never notice it. Influenced by the emotions of the moment, your mind exacts a decision you may not even agree with. It isn’t until we have that brief moment of being totally present that we suddenly ask the question, “What am I doing?”
Moments kept like:
“What a crappy day!” dismissing or forgetting that you had accomplished and completed a huge milestone.
“That jerk, man people stuck at driving” forgetting not 5 minutes earlier someone waved you in.
“I’m never going to finish this!” minimizing past efforts you have persevered through already.
Learn to write your own story by building skills such as becoming indistractable, and decide what moments are added to, or left off your narrative.
